Judge Rules Today On Wife Slaying
July 29, 2003
By Scott Shifrel
Keith Cosby watched in court as lawyers talked about the five bullets that ended his daughter’s life and what her last words were, and showed him a video of his son-in-law confessing.
That was last week. Today, he awaits the judge’s decision on whether or not the son-in-law, Van Griffin, is sentenced on manslaughter or murder charges.
‘This isn’t hard,’ the 48-year-old father said after last week’s closing statements. ‘Burying her was hard.’
Griffin, 38, a former correction officer, is charged with shooting Felicia Cosby, 26, at her Jamaica home on Nov. 6, 2000, as the couple argued over child support for their daughter, then 4.
Kew Gardens Supreme Court Justice Evelyn Braun is hearing the case without a jury and is set to decide today whether Griffin is guilty of second-degree murder or manslaughter. If it’s murder, he’ll face 25 years to life in prison, manslaughter could mean a maximum of 25 years.
Griffin’s lawyer said his client suffered from extreme emotional distress, a finding that could lead to a manslaughter verdict.
Griffin had brain damage from a 1996 motorcycle accident, suffered from clinical depression and had numerous problems, including trying to meet child support payments, defense attorney Todd Greenberg said.
‘Van Griffin was a decent man his whole life,’ Greenberg said. ‘The only explanation for this action is that Van was acting under extreme emotional distress.’
But Griffin, who had three other children out of wedlock with three other women, created his own problems and was not under extraordinary pressure, prosecutor Stephen Antignani said.
‘It’s not in dispute that he pulled out his gun and fired five shots into her body,’ he said. ‘The only thing in dispute is whether he deserves mercy from this court.’
The case has clearly taken its toll on both families, who have attended nearly every court session.
‘This is a tragedy for everybody,’ said Griffin’s father, Marvin Griffin, 62, a former New York City police officer.
Cosby’s father has been silent through most of the trail, quietly taking notes in a composition notebook he borrowed from his granddaughter, who is now 7.
‘I want to see him get 25 to life,’ Keith Cosby said. ‘His daughter? She wants her father to apologize for what he did to her mother.’

Computers have revolutionized many areas of our lives and continue to do so, and the medical field is no exception. There is a drive towards personalized medicine, aiming for treatment tailored to an individual because “one size does not fit all.” Computer modeling and simulation of the human body is one method being used to work towards this so-called personalized medicine.
In our lungs, air and blood are brought together to exchange the gases we need to survive. Air travels through your mouth or nose, down through your airways to the gas exchange region (the alveoli). In certain diseases, the process of air flow into our lungs is damaged. Current methods for diagnosing many lung diseases use a technique known as spirometry. This test measures airflow into and out of your mouth and provides a measure of how well your lung is working as a whole. However, significant damage may already be present before spirometry can detect changes.
Through the use of powerful computers and well-defined mathematics, it is possible to simulate how air flows into our lungs using a technique called computational fluid dynamics (CFD). People around the world are using this technique to simulate air flow, and the transport of inhaled drugs, through personalized computer models of a patient’s airways. In a recent review in WIREs Systems Biology and Medicine, the authors discuss research conducted around the world focusing on the simulation of airflow through the full pathway for oxygen (nose – airways – alveoli).
In particular, this Review presents work using image-based patient-specific models applied in the clinical setting. For example, the authors discuss the application of models of airflow in the nasal cavity to predict air flow changes after nasal surgery. They also describe CFD studies used in drug trials, providing evidence these computer methods can provide an improvement on current measures of lung function like spirometry. Researchers around the world are working towards creating computer models that can ultimately be used to improve medical care.

Day 1 You'll See:
Day 2 You'll See:
Day 3 You'll See:
Enjoy 3 full days of Seattle sightseeing as you and your group make your way to all of the city's most popular attractions.
Golden Gardens Park
Seattle's Golden Gardens Park is the perfect place for your group to get out, stretch your legs, and see some of the most beautiful scenes in Seattle. This 88-acre public park sits within the Ballard neighborhood and is comprised of wetlands, beaches, hiking trails, picnic areas, and children's playgrounds. Golden Gardens Park 'draws outdoor lovers for the Puget Sound, Olympic Mountain views, and trails' not to mention the rugged coastline and sandy beaches of the restored northern beach. There is a fishing pier and boat launch among the 300' shoreline, as well as plenty of options for beach recreation, such as beach volleyball.
The Fremont Troll is a Fremont neighborhood resident residing underneath Aurora Bridge. The bridge itself was first built in 1932, and ever since then, locals have been reporting sightings of trolls underneath! So in 1990 an actual troll was created, putting the rumors to rest by making it a reality! Using concrete, steel, and wire, 4 artists by the names of Donna Walter, Ross Whitehead, Steve Badanes, and Will Martin created this behemoth statue, weighing 6.5 tons total. The mixed media statue sits at 18 feet and clutches an actual Volkswagon Beetle in his hand, the car once used as an Elvis memorial.
Inside this Seattle icon, you will be able to sign up for docent-led tours, read up on some important city history, and then take the 41-second ride to the 520-foot observation deck. Up here you will get the greatest 360-degree views of the greens and blues of the Emerald City below. You will see wonderfully the downtown Seattle skyline, the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, Mount Rainier, Elliott Bay, and the surrounded islands in the Pacific distance. At the Skycity Restaurant, you will sit at an altitude of 500 feet, as you soak in the sunset over the mountains and sample local tastes of Seattle for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Here you will enjoy the sky, sea, scallops, seafood, and sandwiches, as well as a free trip to the observation deck if you haven’t already been!
Day Hike at Mt. Rainer
Mount Rainer is quite possibly the most beautiful spot in all of the state of Washington, and certainly in all of Seattle. Sitting 14,410 feet above sea level, this mountain is a landscape icon on the west coast, an active volcano as well as the most glaciated peak in the contiguous US. Your group will absolutely love the opportunity to take a day hike at Mount Rainier, and with over 260 miles of maintained trails total, you will certainly have plenty of options! The trails will take you through old-growth forest, river valleys, subalpine meadows and much more, showing you everything from fields of wildflowers to peak-side glaciers.. Remember, NEVER hike alone, DON'T feed the wildlife, STAY on the path, and CHECK trail advisories and closures online before you set off.
Pike Place Market
This public market sits in the heart of downtown Seattle, providing the city with a lot more than just fresh produce. Pike Place Market is considered to be a 'vibrant neighborhood comprised of hundreds of farmers, craftspeople, small businesses, and residents'. The 9-acre historic district consists of several different market areas, the entire conglomerate sure to satisfy all your shopping needs providing everything from locally processed meats and cheeses to kitchenware and body care products. Your group should definitely stop for a bite to eat while here, with several popular onsite eateries such as Alibi Room, the Can Can Culinary Cafe, or the historic Virginia Inn.
Bill Speidel's Underground Tour
The 75-minute tour begins beneath Doc Maynards Public House and ends in Rogues Gallery and Underground Gift Shop, which holds displays, memorabilia, and souvenirs. You will see Pioneer Square and the underground up close and personal, your journey taking you through rugged conditions underground, complete with rickety stairs (in spots) and spotty lighting. The hollow tunnels reach up to 35 feet in places! If you are in the mood for an extra thrill sign up for the Underground Paranormal Experience, a 'hands-on, lights off' attraction that provides guests with official paranormal investigation equipment to use to try and contact any of the many unrequited souls underground.

Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center
Another highly culturally enlightening place to visit in Chicago is the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center, located in Skokie. The motto of this museum is powerful and sobering at the same time, stating ‘Remember the Past, Transform the Future’. There is a powerful spirit of dedication to both the Holocaust and its survivors here, over 300,000 guests coming here each year to visit the landmark cultural history and education center.
First built in 2009 under the design of architect Stanley Tigerman, the inside of the museum provides interactive youth exhibitions, tours, group visits, the Legacy Shop store, field trip options, and many more artifacts and exhibits for adults. The entire museum provides a very ‘successful learning experience for all’, the tragic history of this place alone a lesson worth learning.
With threats of neo-nazi marches in the late 1970s in Skokie, a group of survivors put up a small storefront, turning their mission into the 65,000 square foot museum you see today. Over 30 years of experience in educating the public make this place so special, not to mention it’s single-handed efforts in passing the 1990 Holocaust Education Mandate.

Over the past seven days, bitcoin has surged more than 20%. That’s a bull market unto itself. It’s also one fueled by speculation that the SEC will soon approve ETFs with spot bitcoin exposure. That’s one of the most widely anticipated events in the histories of the ETF industry and the crypto space.
The long-running speculation can affect other cryptocurrency-related assets, including bitcoin mining equities. This is the asset class largely tracked by the Invesco Alerian Galaxy Crypto Economy ETF (SATO).
Hopes for a spot bitcoin ETF cut both ways. Speculation is just that, and there are no guarantees that the SEC will imminently approve such ETFs. Said another way, bitcoin and ETFs such as SATO could use catalysts beyond regulatory approvals. Fortunately, it appears that’s happening.
Crypto ETF SATO Could Be Golden
SATO could benefit in two ways. Recent data indicates bitcoin’s correlations to equities, including the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX), are declining. Second, the cryptocurrency’s correlations to gold are increasing.
That’s a positive, because over the past month, the largest gold-backed ETF is higher by 4.22%. Those tightening correlations could fortify bitcoin’s status as a safe-haven assets. That’s something it has long lacked, but something crypto bulls have long craved.
“Geopolitical risk amid new conflict in the Middle East has raised hackles among investors and seen traders flock into gold, long seen as a safe bet in times of turmoil that rock the stock market,” reported Jack Denton for Barron’s. “While Bitcoin has long been dubbed ‘digital gold’ by its proponents, the largest crypto has not always performed as a haven asset, though its increasing link to gold could be a sign that this is changing, especially with respect to geopolitical risk.”

The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) has issued a final decision to grant an exemption to Power and Water Corporation (Power and Water) from its ring-fencing obligations under sections 139, 140 and 141 of the National Gas Law.
This exemption relates to the ring fencing of Power and Water’s McArthur River Mining Pipeline in the Northern Territory from its gas supply business.
The AER considers that Power and Water has satisfied the relevant criteria for granting the exemption under rule 34 of the National Gas Rules.
The AER considers that, in the circumstances, the cost savings resulting from the exemption outweigh any potential benefits of complying with the ring-fencing obligations.
Power and Water is required under the National Gas Rules to notify the AER, without delay, if it no longer qualifies for the exemption.
In making the final decision, the AER considered additional information provided after the draft decision had been issued, including:
- a late submission from Empire Energy noting that it had signed a gas sale agreement with the NT Government to supply gas onto the McArthur River Mining Pipeline
- information from Power and Water detailing the capital works and time required to connect Empire Energy’s gas production facility to the McArthur River Mining Pipeline and to make the pipeline bi-directional
- information from the NT Government detailing aspects of its gas sale agreement with Empire Energy and how it is seeking to ensure Power and Water will meet its ring-fencing requirements over the longer term.
Having considered this new information, the final decision includes the following conditions:
- The exemptions expire when the McArthur River Mining Pipeline is made a bi-directional pipeline.
- Power and Water must notify the AER of any material change in circumstances with respect to pipeline capacity and/or configuration.
- Power and Water must notify the AER in advance of any change in contractual arrangements regarding access to the MRM Pipeline.
Gas ring-fencing laws were extended under the March 2023 gas reforms to include non-scheme pipelines. Service providers of these pipelines are required to comply with the new laws from 2 March 2024.
The ring-fencing framework set out in Part 2 of Chapter 4 of the National Gas Law provides for the specific obligations applicable to gas pipeline service providers. The provisions ensure that related businesses do not gain a competitive advantage by virtue of their common ownership or operation with pipelines.
Service providers may apply to the AER for an exemption from the ring-fencing provisions under rule 34 of the National Gas Rules.

Let us delve into the intricate tapestry of urban planning with a captivating exploration of Brazilian ingenuity, “Urban Design and Social Change.” This masterful work, penned by renowned architect and urbanist Roberto Rocco, transcends conventional boundaries, painting a vivid portrait of the complex relationship between design and societal evolution.
Published in 2010 by Editora Unicamp, this volume is not merely an academic treatise; it is a testament to the power of design to shape lives and influence communities.
Rocco’s prose, both incisive and poetic, guides us through the historical development of urban spaces, revealing the underlying social forces that have sculpted our cities. He masterfully weaves together theoretical frameworks with real-world examples, drawing upon his vast experience in Brazil, a nation grappling with the challenges of rapid urbanization and social inequality.
The Evolution of Urban Form: A Journey Through Time and Space
“Urban Design and Social Change” begins by tracing the origins of urban planning, from ancient civilizations to the modern metropolis. Rocco meticulously examines the evolution of urban form, highlighting key milestones such as the rise of industrial cities, the emergence of garden city movements, and the post-war boom in suburban development.
Through this historical lens, he underscores the cyclical nature of urban change, where periods of growth are often followed by cycles of decline and renewal.
The Social Dimension: Unveiling the Hidden Threads
Beyond mere physical structures, Rocco delves into the social fabric that binds cities together. He analyzes how design choices can influence social interactions, shape community identity, and even contribute to economic prosperity.
He argues that effective urban planning must prioritize the needs of all citizens, regardless of their socioeconomic status. This principle is exemplified through his advocacy for inclusive public spaces, accessible transportation networks, and affordable housing options.
Brazil as a Case Study: Lessons Learned from a Dynamic Nation
Throughout the book, Rocco uses Brazil as a living laboratory, examining its unique urban challenges and triumphs. He explores the complexities of favelas, informal settlements that have become integral parts of Brazilian cities.
Rocco advocates for a more nuanced understanding of these communities, recognizing their resilience, cultural richness, and potential for positive transformation. He proposes innovative design solutions that aim to integrate favelas into the broader urban fabric while respecting their distinctive identities.
Theme | Description |
Urban History | Traces the evolution of urban planning from ancient civilizations to modern cities |
Social Impact | Explores the influence of design on social interactions, community identity, and economic development |
Brazilian Context | Examines unique challenges and opportunities in Brazilian urban environments |
Production Features: A Testament to Quality and Craftsmanship
Published by Editora Unicamp, a leading academic press in Brazil, “Urban Design and Social Change” boasts high production standards. The book features clear typography, ample white space for easy reading, and numerous illustrations and diagrams that enhance the text’s clarity. Its durable binding ensures longevity, making it a valuable addition to any library or bookshelf.
A Lasting Legacy: Inspiring Generations of Urban Planners
Rocco’s work transcends disciplinary boundaries, resonating with architects, urban planners, sociologists, and anyone interested in understanding the complex tapestry of urban life. “Urban Design and Social Change” serves as a timeless guide for navigating the challenges and opportunities of creating sustainable and equitable cities for future generations.
It is an invitation to imagine a world where design becomes a powerful tool for social transformation, weaving together the threads of community, equity, and innovation into the very fabric of our urban landscapes.

Taste Pan-Asian Street Food at SticxDC
The concept for SticxDC originated on an adventure across Asia. A group of friends departed for the continent on a quest to try as much street food as they could, and by the time they returned home, they had very refined and experienced palates. They brought what they’d learned to a D.C. eatery that serves up the same authentic Southeast Asian barbecue fare on sticks.
You can also order any of the grilled meats as entrees, but the smaller skewers allow you to taste-test a wider variety of the delicacies. Start with a stick of the Burmese-style pork belly alongside Japanese-style beef skewers and Thai-style chicken sticks. Prefer some heat? The Thai grilled beef with spicy dipping sauce should suit you. Pair it with the grilled shishito peppers for an extra kick. There’s also a selection of fried veggies, including eggplant fritters and crispy spring rolls, as well as pork and chicken dumplings. Regardless of what you choose as the main course, you have access to a full roster of house-made dipping sauces that range from pickled mango curry to dry chili dipping sauce.

The CDC says yes. But how do we know for sure?
“I’m not your butler,” I say several times a day. I want my kids back in school. Badly.
Schools here in Los Angeles have been closed since this whole coronamess started and now, almost a year in, researchers at the CDC have recommended that schools reopen. But it’s not that simple.
It didn’t take a whole heck of a lot of imagination to predict that there would be consequences to long-lasting virtual schooling. In addition to academic concerns, the isolation has been emotionally harmful to kids. I’d add that my emotional state would be greatly improved if my kids could go back to school.
There’s a major caveat, however. Communities need to prioritize safely opening schools over things like indoor dining and gyms. With the emergence of new variants and vaccines in short supply, there are hard choices to make if schools are going to reopen this school year. Please, let them reopen.
But I have to wonder if we are willing to make the sacrifices needed to reopen schools. I certainly hope so. And if they do open, how safe will they be? According to the CDC, there have to be mitigation measures at schools, regional restrictions must be tightened, and community spread has to be low. Parents are going to have to make a judgment about whether these three factors are enough to keep their kids safe.
How safe will campus actually be? That depends. To prevent disease transmission, schools must follow CDC guidelines: face masks, distancing, and cohorting. That means smaller classes, face masks all day, and physical separation. No contact sports. No indoor gatherings.
Even with these mitigation efforts, there are other things to consider. One such concern is a family’s living situation. If there are older or more vulnerable members of the family living together, there’s a greater risk. Dr. Peter Bailey, a family practice physician based in Northern California told me that he believes it is still too soon for schools to be reopening. “My biggest concern is that children’s social behavior can make them super-spreaders of the virus. It is not the children I am necessarily concerned about, but their grandparents, who are our most vulnerable population.”
Outside of school, parents must take into account what’s happening in their communities. Are bars and restaurants open? Are indoor gatherings permitted and happening? Is there a unified effort to prioritize safe school openings? And what are case levels like in the area? These are all important factors in making the decision about whether to send kids back to school. I’d like to think that everyone would be willing to get on board and make the sacrifices needed to get our kids back in school. Unfortunately, I’m not so sure that’s the case.
If everything is done right at schools, if public gatherings are limited or prohibited, if case numbers are low in your area, and if you don’t live with the most vulnerable among us, there’s a good case to be made to send kids back to school. However, if one or more of these factors is pointing in the wrong direction, it’d be wise to hesitate or ask your doctor.
There is also the emotional consideration for parents and kids alike. Kids are suffering. And so are parents. We don’t know the risks to children’s emotional well-being of such extended isolation. And for parents, like me, who can’t take a whole lot more of this, emotional health ranks high up there in the consideration. article continues after advertisement
Perhaps Dr. Jessica Edwards, a Texas-based family medicine practitioner sums it up best. “I have a 3-year-old,” she told me. “But I do not envy parents who are having to make this difficult decision at this moment.”
Indeed, it is not an enviable position for parents to be in.

Newsroom Monologue: America Not The Greatest
It’s not the greatest country in the world, professor, that’s my answer.
And you’re going to tell students that America’s so star-spangled awesome that we’re the only ones in the world who have freedom? Canada has freedom, Japan has freedom, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Australia, Belgium has freedom. Two hundred seven sovereign states in the world, like 180 of them have freedom.
And you—sorority girl—yeah—just in case you accidentally wander into a voting booth one day, there are some things you should know, and one of them is that there is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that we’re the greatest country in the world. We’re seventh in literacy, twenty-seventh in math, twenty-second in science, forty-ninth in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, third in median household income, number four in labor force, and number four in exports.
We lead the world in only three categories: number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend more than the next twenty-six countries combined, twenty-five of whom are allies. None of this is the fault of a 20-year-old college student, but you, nonetheless, are without a doubt, a member of the WORST-period-GENERATION-period-EVER-period, so when you ask what makes us the greatest country in the world, I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about?! Yosemite?!!!
We sure used to be. We stood up for what was right! We fought for moral reasons, we passed and struck down laws for moral reasons. We waged wars on poverty, not poor people. We sacrificed, we cared about our neighbors, we put our money where our mouths were, and we never beat our chest. We built great big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe, cured diseases, and cultivated the world’s greatest artists and the world’s greatest economy.
We reached for the stars, and we acted like men. We aspired to intelligence; we didn’t belittle it; it didn’t make us feel inferior. We didn’t identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election, and we didn’t scare so easy.
And we were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed. By great men, men who were revered. The first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one—America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.

If you've been an iOS gamer for more than a few months, you'll have played a tower defence title. The App Store is full of them, after all.
Office Hero, from Keyloft, is one such tower defence title.
In Office Hero, you have to help a hard-working businessman called Mike protect his office from the attacks of increasingly nasty and competitive companies who want to see him fail.
In order to protect Mike's workplace, you'll have to rally together his most loyal employees (the game's towers). They all have unique skills that will help you to repel the office invaders.
Unlike in most tower defence titles, you can move every single tower in Office Hero freely and without penalty. This adds an extra layer of strategy on top of the gameplay you've come to expect from the genre.
If you need to move a unit, you can just pick it up and drag it to a new position. It's that simple to re-adjust your defences on the fly.
There's also a "Direct Fighting mode" in which you can step into the fray, dirty your hands a little, and directly attack your on-screen foes.
If you're really lucky, you'll stumble across some free equipment during battle that will improve your chances of success, or meet one of the game's mysterious mascot characters (who'll help you out of sticky situations).
There are a total of 50 stages to complete - all of which can be attempted on three different difficulty settings. You can also compete against other players via Apple's very own Game Center network.
According to Keyloft, Office Hero is the first tower defence title in history to include fully movable towers.
It's hardly surprising, then, that it's these unique movable towers of which Keyloft are most proud.
Keyloft are also rather fond of the game's RPG elements and "finger weapons", mind. Oh, and of the game's cute characters and their weapons, which are items from everyday working life.
Keyloft plan to keep the Office Hero experience fresh by releasing content updates, which will include - among other things - new levels, characters, and weapons.
Keyloft are even planning to throw new stories and completely new game modes into the mix.
You can download Office Hero from the App Store for your iPad right now. If you don't have an Apple-branded tablet, fear not: Keyloft will release Office Hero on iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone sometime in the future.
Office Hero is available as a free download, but you can spend some real-world cash on optional in-app purchases if you'd like.
You can download Office Hero from the App Store [download] right this second.

The Days of Armenian Culture in Belarus testifies to the mutual interest of the two nations, Culture Minister of Belarus Boris Svetlov said at an official opening ceremony on 9 February, informs.
The Belarusian-Armenian relations have a long history. The Armenian people made a huge contribution to the victory in the Great Patriotic War. Today representatives of the Armenian diaspora are a pride of Belarus, Boris Svetlov said. In 2014 Armenia hosted the Days of Belarusian Culture. Culture is a calling card of any country that helps address different issues that at first seem unsolvable, the ministry added.
In turn, Deputy Culture Minister of Armenia Artur Poghosyan said that the Armenian people would like to share their huge culture with the Belarusian people. The friendship between the two countries becomes stronger, while the 10-year cooperation in culture and art expands its borders. “Today we are obliged to preserve good traditions, cultural and human ties to hand them over to the future generations,” said Artur Poghosyan.
The Days of Armenian Culture opened with an exhibition of the ancient Armenian book at the National Library of Belarus. The exhibition featured the first printed book in Armenian (1512), the printed Bible in Armenian (1666), the first Armenian periodical Azdarar, and also books from the collection of the National Library of Armenia. Minsk residents and guests will have a chance to get familiar with the artworks of modern Armenian painters in the Mikhail Savitsky Gallery.
The exhibition will open on 10 February. Later the day the State Jazz Orchestra of Armenia will perform at the concert hall of the Belarusian State Music Academy. The Days of Armenian Culture in Belarus make part of the cooperation program signed between the culture ministries of the two countries for 2014-2017.
The program is aimed at assisting the establishment of direct contacts between the museums of the two countries, exchanging tours between theaters, music and dance companies of Belarus and Armenia. The program also envisages the Days of Belarusian Cinema in Armenia and the Days of Armenian Cinema in Belarus. Apart from that, Armenia is a Guest of Honor of the 23rd Minsk International Book Fair in 2016.

“Choice-based teaching and learning delivers in-depth curriculum in the context of student-centered work. An art teaching concept which allows for curriculum to be presented in-depth within the context of work chosen by student artists. Given broad responsibilities and high standards, children are able to organize their reality into vigorous images. Classrooms are arranged as studios, and the effective organization of space, time, and materials enables students to create work which is individual and compelling. Teaching for Artistic Behavior Partnership (TAB) is a nationally recognized, choice-based (studio/learning) centers approach to teaching art.†(Teaching for Artistic Behavior(TM), Inc., 2007)
Because my classes are “exploratory arts†with combination grade levels and ability levels (including ELL, SPED, Gifted and EBD in the same class) I have found that the best way to keep the kids engaged is by using a modified version of TAB. In addition to TAB, I also use a variety of guided lessons. Check out the catagory “TAB” in my blog for entries related to this teaching method.
Since creating and implementing my skill building “Around the Room” games, doing modified choice has been going great. Every year is a little different in how I offer student direction VS teacher direction. I have been publishing more of my ideas in other venues, such as Arts and Activities, Splatter and School Arts. I am working (slowly) on a book, perhaps even a teacher workbook, of the Around the Room games. I will keep you posted!
In the past few years I have slowly moved away from student centered, mostly because of our teacher evaluation system. After the great NAEA conference this year I am trying to move back towards student centered, modified choice for my classes.
Here are some direct links to some of my past and present TAB related posts. Or you can just search the Tags or categories on this site.

Tunggul Wirajuda, Jakarta – Indonesia's licensed vendor for FIFA U-20 World Cup merchandise is scrambling to sell off its wares after the country lost its license to host the tournament in an act of political self-sabotage.
The souvenirs were laid out neatly on a table at the Juaraga activewear store in Jakarta's FX Sudirman mall, arranged symmetrically to catch the customer's eye. Among them was a neat black backpack. Red, white and other colors swirled into the shape of a trophy with the words "FIFA" at its base, while the words "U-20 World Cup, Indonesia 2023" rounded out the bag, labeled the Backpack Champion. While the motif was eye-catching, they were not the only attention-grabbing items.
"I think the yellow bucket hat is a striking, reversible item. When one reverses the headgear, it turns into a dazzling array of colors," said a visitor named Kevin on April 11 of the item sold as the Bucket Hat Ray. "The colorful melange is a great contrast to the hat's monochromatic yellow shell."
The Backpack Champion and Bucket Hat Ray are among the items that make up Juaraga's collection for the ill-fated 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Scheduled to be held in Indonesia, FIFA stripped the country of its right to host the tournament after the powerful Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) objected to Israel's participation in the championship at the end of March. The cancellation occurred less than two months before Indonesia was to host the tournament.
"The cancellation [of the U-20 World Cup] shocked us, as it came out of the blue and was a knockout blow similar to losing a soccer match in injury time," Juaraga owner Mochtar Sarman told The Jakarta Post on April 11. "As an official FIFA partner, they licensed us to sell U-20 World Cup merchandise. We started to sell the items last March after we ordered them from 18 small, micro and medium enterprises [SMSEs] in Tangerang, Bandung, Semarang and Surakarta at the end of 2022."
He added that Juaraga had ordered more than 500,000 pieces of merchandise for the U-20 World Cup, 85 to 90 percent of which had been manufactured before the tournament was supposed to kick off, in May of last year. These included the jerseys of the national squad; the Heritage, a black unisex jacket identified by the staff as a "bestselling item and customer favorite"; and the tournament mascot, Bacuya, in various iterations. A colorfully horned rhino sporting the colors of the Indonesian national team, Bacuya, took on the form of fridge magnets, keychains, stuffed animals and other items.
Mochtar pointed out that Juaraga had sold its merchandise on online marketplaces like Shopee and Tokopedia, at more than 12,000 Alfa Mart outlets and in their official store before the curtain abruptly fell on Indonesia's chances to host the U-20 World Cup.
"[Juaraga] was about to finalize deals to sell the U-20 World Cup merchandise in the airports of the host cities and at a pop-up store at the Sarinah shopping mall before the tournament's cancellation forced these projects down the drain. We estimated that the MSMEs producing them have lost about Rp 30 billion [US$2.03 billion]," Mochtar said, adding that the severe blow to the morale of the MSMEs was less tangible.
"The MSMEs lost the opportunity to prove themselves at a global event that was hard to come by and sell their goods to an international market. They also lost the chance to show their skills in producing world-quality products and the quality control that goes with it, as well as what they learned about international property rights," he said. "But we will still help these businesses by selling their wares from the U-20 World Cup and other events that Indonesia still hosts, such as the MotoGP and Formula E."
Kevin commended the MSMEs' efforts and believed in helping them by buying their U-20 World Cup wares, though he saw them as bitter mementos.
"I feel for the stakeholders in the U-20 World Cup, among them the MSMEs, the Garuda [national team], as well as referees and other officials," he said. "Looking at the merchandise is also surreal, as it evokes a never-mentioned tournament."

As the only attorney who sits on the Board of Directors of the Brain Association of Pennsylvania (BIAPA), I get a lot of referrals from both attorneys and medical professionals who treat patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBI’s). Most of the cases that make it to my desk involve individuals and their families who have suffered great losses because of the catastrophic nature of the injury. With many of the “cases” it is difficult to assess what actually happened or how the injury occurred.
I write about a case involving an 18 year old female who sustained a profound and permanent TBI because of a car crash. The case was referred to me by a rehabilitation nurse who was assigned to Jill’s care. Jill’s parents were at a loss thinking about Jill’s future, especially on how to pay the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars for Jill’s future care and treatment.
Jill was driving her car at the time of the crash. It was, by all accounts, a one-car crash. Jill was on a winding road in upstate Pennsylvania. From the police accident report, it looked like Jill lost control of the car and careened off of an embankment, flipping several times before finally hitting a tree….it sounded like a scene out of a movie.
It was roughly a month after the crash and after Jill was admitted to a very well-known brain injury facility in Philadelphia before her parents consider exploring legal action or even speaking with a lawyer.
They spoke to their family lawyer who advised them that there was no other vehicle so it appeared to be no case. The family lawyer nevertheless referred Jill’s parents to a lawyer who deals specifically with personal injury cases. This lawyer also echoed what the family lawyer said and advised that there was no case. Frustrated, Jill’s parents sought the counsel of two other personal injury lawyers in Philadelphia who also advised there was no case. They were rejected by four lawyers because the case, if any, was not clear cut.
So why is Astor Weiss different?
When the situation was brought to our attention by the rehab nurse and after she explained the rejection and frustration that Jill’s parents experienced we agreed to investigate the crash in a more advanced manner….we began thinking out of the box. Clearly there wasn’t another vehicle to pursue which was apparently the thought process of the other four lawyers who reviewed and rejected the case. Jill had no recollection of what happened, which is not uncommon for individuals who sustained a TBI. We had our work cut out for us.
We elected to make the investment, both in time and money. We weren’t sure what, if anything we would find. We did exhaustive research, we dispatched private investigators to speak with the investigating police officers, surveyed the scene and investigated other prior crashes on this section of the roadway, we hired an accident reconstructionist and put together forensic evidence to help us assemble a working theory of the crash, we obtained possession of Jill’s vehicle and then had it examined for its crashworthiness, we had the tires and brakes examined and tested by experts. Four other lawyers before us did not do any of this. While doing our investigating, we closely monitored Jill’s physical and mental condition, visiting her in the hospital and when she was discharged making frequent visits to her home to keep her and her parents closely apprised of what we were doing.
The case was settled shortly before the trial for enough money to give the family some sense of ease that Jill would be financially cared for the rest of her life.
Jill is showing slight signs of improvement but will nevertheless endure a lifetime of suffering which Astor Weiss Kaplan & Mandel made just a little bit more bearable.
This is how and why we practice law.

Corner sofas have become very popular over the last decade. As a result of this, they are now available in a far wider range of sizes, styles, and fabrics than ever before.
Today’s corner sofas come in a range of sizes, from small sofas suitable for seating three or four people to huge corner suites capable of seating seven or eight people. Of course, the really great thing about corner sofas is that most of them can be adapted to suit the size of any kind of room.
Consumers who have a particularly small living room may well find a small settee with a built-in foot stall at one end to be a suitable option, as this gives the room a contemporary look without taking up lots of space. Of course, residents who are fortunate enough to have spacious living rooms have more choice as they can opt for larger corner groups in ‘L’ shapes where one branch of the shape is longer than the other, or where both branches are of equal length.
When it comes to choosing a fabric, consumers generally have two broad options: leather sofas or fabric sofas. Fabric sofas are great for snuggling up and being costly on; however, many more people are choosing leather these days as leather suites are hard wearing and have a very luxurious look.
Without doubt, a suitable corner sofa or suite can help to make any living room look and feel fantastic!

What Is The Worst Part About Al Roker Vs. Heidi & Spencer?
Every once in a while, a pop culture "controversy" will bubble to the surface like so many frothy vomit punchlines told by Glenn Beck, and it will fill you with a vague fog of rage. Certainly something about it makes you angry, but you're not sure what. You need to hone your ire, whittle it down to a sharp prison yard shank of emotion—and The Hater is here to help you. Together we can harness your negativity, which, as we all know, is a great source of energy. Let's Choose Your Outrage!
This morning on The Today Show Al Roker nearly choked on his own guffaw, and Natalie Morales had to run over from her "Bangs will make your face look slightly less fat" segment to give him the Heimlich Maneuver. Unfortunately, he recovered just in time to interview NBC stars Heidi and Spencer Pratt about how they're awful people who create tons of publicity for mind-grindingly dull NBC summer reality series that shouldn't exist. "Are you proud of what you've done?" Roker asked the pair no less than an hour after hosting a cooking segment about, no joke, a French Fry salad.
Choose Your Outrage!
The Worst Part About This Is:
a. That Frangela are cited as a source.
b. That it forces you to side with either noted French Fry salad maker Al Roker or professional assholes Heidi & Spencer.
c. That Al Roker apparently thinks he's somehow better than Heidi & Spencer.
d. When Al Roker acts as if Heidi & Spencer weren't just doing the job NBC hired them to do, i.e. act like complete assholes (not hard for them) and create a lot of attention for a network show whose main premise was "get the lesser Baldwins to eat bugs."
e. That Al Roker brandishes a stack of thoroughly researched notes, compiled by a probably overworked production assistant for hours the day before, all so a jolly-time morning show weatherman can totally nail two non-people about how they're jerks.
f. That at no point in the interview are the blond lichens growing on Spencer's chin addressed.
g. That Heidi & Spencer get "grilled" but Meredith lets the Duggars escape The Today Show without asking them, "Are you proud of what you've done? Seriously, what's wrong with you?"
h. All of the above.

That line is a tough one to straddle, but our Exterminateair HV does it with ease offering mini floor pump stability, plus high volume air flow, all in a small package that you can leave in your pack and forget about.
Mountain Biking UK gives the Exterminateair 4 out of 5 stars for packing a “serious punch” and inflating your tires surprisingly fast for its small size.
“The Exterminateair is on the large side for a portable pump at 28cm long, but it packs a serious punch in terms of volume, which you’ll appreciate when you’re in need at the trailside. The valve head swaps between Schrader and Presta compatability with a simple 90-degree swivel and then simply screws into place on the valve.
The pumping action is smooth, the shaped plastic handle is comf to hold and it inflates tires surprisingly fast for sucha small pump. The build quality is top notch, and it comes with a bottle cage mount, should you deem it too big for your backpack.” – MBUK, 4 stars.
Constructed with durable CNC machined aluminum, the Exterminateair HV has a max air pressure of 160 psi, weighs 228g, and retails for $53.99 CAD. For riders looking for a lighter weight pump, the Enforceair HP enflates up to 200psi and tips the scales at 170g, MSRP $50 CAD.

A pre-action fire sprinkler has a two-step activation process to avoid accidental discharge over the area which it protects. The pipes of this system do not contain any water, it is safeguarded by a pre-action valve, making it a dry sprinkler system.
The pre-action valve will activate upon the detection of heat, smoke or flame, opening the water source for the sprinkler pipes. At this point, the system will act as a wet pipe fire sprinkler system, as the water is ready to discharge from activated sprinkler heads. Each sprinkler head is opened individually to protect unaffected areas from unnecessary water damage. As fire is detected, water is discharged from the sprinkler heads in that area only.
Pre-Action Sprinkler Applications
The two-step activation process offers an additional safeguard against accidental water discharge, making them an excellent choice for environments that are sensitive to moisture. Common applications include; data centers, archives, computer rooms, telecommunication rooms, process control rooms, libraries and freezer warehouses.

A properly sized and installed automatic standby generator ensures your heating, lighting, cooling and refrigeration systems continue to operate smoothly during any power outages. No more risk of frozen pipes. No more spoiled food in the fridge or freezer. No more cold showers. And the system senses when power returns and automatically shuts off and monitors both itself and your system until it’s needed again.
Generac’s prime focus is power generators. They’ve been in the industry for over fifty years and are today’s leader — preferred five to one over the closest competition.
Due to the broadest product line in the industry, Generac ensures the best possible backup power system for every homeowner with their true whole-house protection. Generac’s durable construction is ideal for Nova Scotia’s harsh weather. Patented Galvanneal steel enclosures with RhinoCoat provide substantial protection from the elements. For additional protection the all-weather aluminum enclosure’s corrosion resistance prolongs the life of your generator.
How a home back up generator works
The generator hooks directly to your electrical box. It monitors the power coming into your box, instantly detects if a power outage occurs and starts supplying power within 30 seconds, regardless of the weather conditions. The system continuously monitors the power and shuts off as soon as power is restored to your home.
The unit runs regularly scheduled diagnostics on itself to ensure it will be running in optimal condition when the need arises.
Regular maintenance is essential to the life of your generator. Benoit Electric is committed to providing customers with unsurpassed product support. Contact us with any product maintenance, repair, or warranty questions you may have. We are factory trained and certified to work on Generac products.

How much will installation cost?
Every home is different, and so is every installation. The placement of the generator, the amount of materials required, and the installation of the natural gas or LP fuel source all make estimating installation costs a challenge and can vary depending upon your specific situation. The best way to know for sure is to contact us to arrange a free on-site visit. We will listen to your needs, assess your home, and give you a detailed quote. All at no charge, with no obligation, and no pressure.

Everything Is Obvious: *Once You Know the Answer
Drawing on the latest scientific research, along with a wealth of historical and contemporary examples, Watts shows how common sense reasoning and history conspire to mislead us into believing that we understand more about the world of human behavior than we do; and in turn, why attempts to predict, manage, or manipulate social and economic systems so often go awry.
It seems obvious, for example, that people respond to incentives; yet policy makers and managers alike frequently fail to anticipate how people will respond to the incentives they create. Social trends often seem to be driven by certain influential people; yet marketers have been unable to identify these “influencers” in advance. And although successful products or companies always seem in retrospect to have succeeded because of their unique qualities, predicting the qualities of the next hit product or hot company is notoriously difficult even for experienced professionals.
Watts' argument has important implications in politics, business, and marketing, as well as in science and everyday life.

An Important Medical Industry Technology Shift: The Arrival of The Internet of Things
July 12, 2017
Have you heard the expression “the Internet of Things” yet? Sometimes referred to as the “IoT”, the rapid expansion of this idea around the globe promises to transform daily life in just a few years. It will likely revolutionize the practice of medicine and health care in the USA.
A Dynamic Industry in Transition
During the past two decades, both the medical industry and medical industry marketing underwent some dramatic changes in the United States. Analysts have cited at least three significant forces impacting this transformation:
First, the rapid pace of technological change, especially the popularity of mobile technology, empowered consumers by giving the public convenient access to information. During previous generations, patients often found their health care choices limited within a local community or geographic area. Now the Internet has enabled the public to harness the power of vast streams of information. An interested consumer can review listings for available providers in many health care specialties before scheduling an appointment. “Medical tourism” in which patients travel to obtain specific medical services has grown in economic importance recently, too.
The Affordable Care Act Caused Change
Second, the passage of the Affordable Care Act during the Obama Administration created a seismic change in the provision of health care services in the USA. Consumers, medical practices, hospitals, and insurance companies all experienced these impacts. While many aspects of the legislation remain controversial and Congress may decide to change important provisions of the federal law in the future, no one can deny the new regulatory structure has impacted health care providers and patients significantly already. While it is important to notice change is not always a bad thing. If fact, the very reason for change implies progress in a positive manner.
Third, critical demographic changes in the population in the United States continue to affect the provision of medical services, as well. As members of the large “Baby Boomer” demographic enter their retirement years, some experts caution critical provider shortages will occur in some health care professions. This situation may prompt further state legislative changes. For example, in places such as Minnesota and Nebraska, where severe physician shortages in some rural areas created public hardship. Well-qualified nurses have obtained legislative permission to diagnose and treat patients as independent Nurse Practitioners. Similar legislative efforts may gain impetus in some other markets facing a high demand for medical services.
Prepare For The Internet of Things
Technological advances in robotics and artificial intelligence will soon add yet another disruptive technological shift to the very complex medical marketing field. As computers have grown increasingly powerful. New generations of high tech products hold the promise of further automating and extending Internet-connectivity to objects. The Internet of Things has already begun significantly impacting medicine and patient care. Medical practices which embrace this technology shift enjoy a distinct advantage.
For instance, for several years exercise monitors such as Fitbit have permitted consumers to connect to the Internet even during mobile exercise activities. From Apple watches to “wearable tech”, a variety of objects equipped with WiFi and computerized chips routinely report information online in real time to manufacturers and retailers. Many of these gadgets will potentially enhance health proactively in the future. Some wearable fitness gadgets even issue an alert when reported physical parameters suggest a customer should consider scheduling a routine health check-up. A “smart” fitness device could email the wearer with this recommendation, for example.
Analysts have also noticed a surge in wearable medical devices. These instruments remotely notify a treating physician about a patient’s health status, enabling faster emergency care during a crisis. New models of cardiac pacemakers illustrate this trend. Expect to see more sophisticated Internet-connected devices and gadgets enter the medical marketplace in the near future. Industry analysts predict enterprise marketplace devices will dominate. Fully 40% of all IoT gadgets in use by 2019 relating to proprietary networks. (Any future national infrastructure re-building projects will likely incorporate IoT connectivity, too, potentially changing many aspects of society in profound ways during the next decade.)

Are you thinking about taking a hearing test but aren't sure what to expect? If you have current hearing issues or are over 60 years old, healthcare practitioners suggest having a hearing test once a year. Hearing tests are non-invasive, fast, and painless. Schedule a free hearing test with us in Seattle, WA. Here's an example of what to expect from a hearing test with us.
A case history
We'll start by asking you a series of questions to understand your hearing situation better. Since there are so many causes of hearing loss, we'll look for evidence to rule these out one by one. Allergies, colds, ear infections, and earwax are some familiar sources of hearing loss. We'll ask you questions to see if you have any of these issues. We may also want to know whether you're on any drugs and whether you've recently been subjected to loud noises.
An ear exam
A regular physical ear examination with an otoscope typically follows the initial consultation. An otoscope is a device that looks like a cross between a flashlight and a microscope, and we use this to inspect your ear canals for blockages or injuries. It usually takes just a few minutes and is minimally invasive.
It's now time to take a hearing tests! We conduct these tests in a small space designed to keep out external noises that may influence the test results. You'll be given headphones with wires hanging from them that are connected to an instrument called an audiometer.
- A pure-tone test is usually the first step. You will listen to sounds at different frequencies and volumes in one or both ears during this exercise. If you hear the sound, you push a button.
- A speech recognition test will be next. This requires you to repeat what has been said after hearing brief snippets of people speaking.
These tests are used to determine the degree of hearing damage and whether the person's hearing can perceive high frequencies and low frequencies. There may be other tests we conduct should we see the need.
Reviewing your hearing evaluation results
We will immediately record your results on an audiogram, a visual illustration of your hearing ability following your tests. It will have answers to questions such as: What is the quietest sound you can hear? What frequencies do you have trouble hearing? The results of a speech recognition test are usually viewed as a percentage.
If the test results show that hearing loss is present, the severity of the hearing loss will be shown on a scale:
- Mild hearing loss: You won't hear sounds between 26 and 40dB if you have moderate hearing loss. This indicates that you have difficulty hearing other people in noisy situations.
- Moderate hearing loss: If you can't hear sounds above 69 decibels, you have moderate hearing loss. It's tricky to understand some conversations with this level of hearing loss.
- Severe hearing loss: If you can't hear sounds between 70 and 94 decibels, you have severe hearing loss. If you don't have hearing aids, you'll have to rely on lip-reading, contextual cues, and body language to interact with others.
- Profound hearing loss: You won't hear anything below 95 decibels if you have significant hearing loss. This means that you won't be able to hear anything quieter than a Boeing 737.
Following the findings of your hearing evaluation, we will help you interpret them and make treatment decisions (if any). This is an ideal time to ask further questions about the results, as well as treatment options. It will take about an hour to complete the process.
A negative hearing test is never a wasted test. If the findings show no hearing loss, you will have the peace of mind to go on with your life as usual. We'll also give you helpful advice on how to keep your hearing intact. If the test reveals that you have a hearing deficiency, you can take action as soon as possible. Hearing treatment has been correlated with better social interactions, long-term cognitive wellbeing, and increased earning capacity, so having your hearing checked is a vital first step toward protecting your future health and quality of life. Schedule a Seattle hearing exam with us today.

You’ve done it! You successfully traversed another holiday shopping season. Well, maybe not successfully, and maybe it was more of a stumble than a traverse, but you made it through nonetheless! Now that the Yuletide joy has gone and the Season’s officially over, it’s time for the credit hangover to set in.
You wake up on January 1st and gaze disgustingly at your bloated debt to income ratio. How could you let your finances grow so out of shape? Wasn’t it just last summer that you swore to work off that excess debt that was beginning to form? But then it came time for the holidays, and the little progress you made on your debt to income ratio swiftly regressed as a growing gift list stretched your bank account to the point of bursting. Enough is enough. It’s a new year; it’s time to get disciplined, get credit debt help, and expel those expenses. And we’ve got a credit cardio routine that will do the trick!
To begin, stop making discretionary purchases on your credit cards. Consider credit cards to be the ice cream of your personal finances. They provide short-term reward, but ultimately this comes at a cost. Indulging a bit every now and then won’t cause much harm, but if you turn this indulgence into a habit, you are guaranteed to see long-term negative implications on your financial health. It can be tough to deny the cravings, but who said debt management was easy?
Instead, when it comes to discretionary purchases, it is always best to use cash or a debit card, as they are the fruit and veggies of your personal finances. While it’s not quite as satisfying as using a credit card, it won’t form excess debt. - Word of Advice: Minimum Efforts Yield Minimum Results
If you have excessive unsecured debt and are only making minimum payments to reduce the balance, it will take years to make any significant gains. Liken it to the novice gym-goer who aspires to rise through the ranks and one day become a professional body builder. If he only works out with the smallest weights in the gym, day-in-day-out, he will never see his goal through to fruition. If your unsecured debts are as large as Lou Ferrigno, you will never achieve your goal of becoming debt free by only making minimum payments. - Your credit cardio workout routine: The Personal Budget
Creating a monthly budget to track your spending habits is imperative for stripping away excess debt and improving your debt to income ratio. The best part, you don’t need to come up with one from scratch. Luckily, there are numerous sources on the Internet that assist with crafting a budget that is tailored to your specific goals. If you aren’t tracking your results over time, there are no benchmarks to determine if you have made any progress towards achieving your goal. The secret to paying down your unsecured debt? Find a debt plan that works and stick with it! - Recognize when it’s time to seek outside assistance
If your situation seems dire, if your credit limits are bursting at the seams, it may be time to seek the assistance of a debt help company like Beyond Finance. There are solutions available to help people who are morbidly indebted, who have a poor debt-to-income ratio, and who are in hardship situations with their unsecured debt. However, you should know your options before committing to one solution. Ensure that the debt solutions you are considering align closest with your unique situation. You wouldn’t hire a boxing coach to teach a water aerobics class; the same standard should apply for seeking financial assistance.
At Beyond Finance, we’ve helped thousands of consumers tackle their debts. More and more new clients are taking that first step and are on the path to a healthier financial future. Don’t let your excess debt prevent you from enjoying life.
For more help on how to pay off your credit cards, contact one of our Consultants at 1-800-495-4069. Make 2018 the year you become debt free!

Professor of Management and Human Resources at Ohio State University
Interviewed by Julian Portilla, 2003
This rough transcript provides a text alternative to audio. We apologize for occasional errors and unintelligible sections (which are marked with ???).
In Ohio, a couple of graduate students and I, studied a task force that was set up by the EPA to try to rewrite water quality standards for ground water. This task force had probably twelve or thirteen representatives from the development community; these are people who do major construction kinds of things (power companies, road builders, big home owners or land developers). We also had twelve or thirteen representatives from the environmental community. These were people who represented conservation organizations, wildlife management organizations, etc. We also had representatives from the EPA at the table. It was clear that in the past three or four years, all of the cases that had gone to court had favored the environmental groups. So the environmental groups saw that the courts basically had backed a very high set of standards for water quality. It was crazy for them to negotiate away from what the courts had already done. The development community was very clear that they wanted to relax some of those standards. They used all kinds of economic and social arguments as to why the standards were too rigorous and mitigated economic development in a number of areas. The environmentalists argued that the current standards defined by the court were perfectly appropriate and there was no reason to back off from any of those. As a result, the environmental community argued that they had the upper hand and they were not about to move off of it. The regulatory community said that they wanted those things relaxed and to have more flexibility and freedom in what they do. In the most part, it is very much like a gain and a loss frame. The parties, in many ways, argued past each other. The whole year the community met together once a month to discuss the water quality standards. The same thing is true for how the dispute should be resolved. It was very clear since the environmentalists had the upper hand, they felt that any subsequent issue should go back to the court system. It was clear that the regulated community wanted to have more of a negotiated process mediated by the EPA, or something like that. We argue that those are frames. Those were experiences and perspective shaped by the interests of the parties which led them to the conversations that really didn't engage each other.

BPI Sports, Design Essentials and Osmotics Cosmeceuticals find success online with BigCommerce Enterprise
AUSTIN, Texas — March 7, 2017 — BigCommerce, the leading ecommerce platform for fast-growing and established brands, today announced health and beauty retailers BPI Sports, Design Essentials and Osmotics Cosmeceuticals have selected and successfully migrated their online stores to BigCommerce Enterprise. Health and Beauty, a $300 billion industry according to estimates from the US Department of Commerce, remains one of the fastest-growing ecommerce categories with online sales rising 17% YoY in 2016 to $28 billion globally1. With BigCommerce, brands are seeing more site traffic, higher sales conversion and increased mobile optimization compared to other platform providers.
“We went from a home grown platform over to BigCommerce and immediately our conversion rate almost doubled — and that made the revenue jump significantly.” said Shawn Tyler, Ecommerce Director at BPI Sports. “Overall, we had 207% increase in revenue and a 71% increase in ecommerce conversion rate.”
Considered one of the largest supplement companies in the market, BPI Sports found its initial success by selling through brick-and-mortar retail channels. When the company decided to increase direct-to-consumer efforts, it left their custom ecommerce platform for BigCommerce Enterprise in December. “For a company growing as quickly as we are, it’s just not possible to scale on a custom platform that requires extensive in-house development resources for even the most minor site update or addition,” said Bill Maroulis, digital strategy director of BPI Sports. “With all its out-of-the-box tools and functionality, BigCommerce allowed us to stop playing catch up and start growing our ecommerce presence in a targeted and efficient way.”
Design Essentials, a leader in hair care products for women, chose BigCommerce Enterprise over Shopify after an extensive comparison of the two platforms, citing the platform’s reliability and reputation amongst leading mid-market retailers as the key factors in the decision. “My family started Design Essentials nearly 30 years ago and have no intention of going away anytime soon. We needed an ecommerce platform that had the capability to grow with us long term,” said Sholanda Armstrong, digital marketing director at Design Essentials. “With BigCommerce, we were able to develop a site that’s current, easy-to-navigate, and allows the customer to experience our brand in a way previously not possible. What I wasn’t expecting was the immediate lift we had in mobile conversion - we’ve seen a 68% increase since migrating over to BigCommerce in January.”
For more than two decades, Osmotics Cosmeceuticals has been a leading provider of cosmeceutical treatments for skin and hair. The company made the decision to switch to BigCommerce Enterprise to help optimize sales across channels and modernize the brand. Within two months, Osmotics Cosmeceuticals saw a 46% jump in mobile traffic and more than 23% of sales originating from mobile devices, compared to less than 5% in 2016. “Our previous site just wasn’t optimized for mobile, and as a result, we were losing a significant amount of traffic,” said Jill DeGroot-Schulke, ecommerce and digital marketing manager at Osmotics Cosmeceuticals. “Through its back-end flexibility, easy-to-manage tools and modern design tools, BigCommerce gave us the ability to refresh our site in a way that brings that personalized customer experience online, better positioning our brand for sustained online growth.”
“In today’s competitive marketplace, it’s not enough for retailers to simply have an ecommerce site; they need a compelling site that can inspire brand loyalty among their consumers,” said Tod Klubnik, senior vice president of global sales at BigCommerce. “As such, retailers like BPI Sports, Design Essentials and Osmotics Cosmeceuticals are increasingly turning to BigCommerce for the platform’s ease-of-use, modern site design, configurability and conversion tools. As a result, they have seen significant uptick in revenue and mobile conversion at a quarter of the cost of other platforms.”

5CH Gas Mixer
G-Mix 5CH: Complete System for Creating Gas Mixtures
G-MIX is a versatile, integrated system designed to create countless gas mixtures. Gas flows are precisely controlled by five Mass Flow Controllers (MFCs), each storing calibration tables for 10 different gases. The entire hydraulic system is constructed with AISI316 stainless steel tubing, fittings, and valves, using the best solutions available for such applications. The stoichiometric composition of the gas mixture can be easily controlled via BioAge-developed software with an intuitive interface, which can be installed on a PC and communicates with G-MIX through a USB connection.
The system can also operate in Stand-Alone mode, without a PC connection, thanks to an easy-to-use LCD display on each MFC, allowing gas parameters to be set through an intuitive keypad on the MFC. G-MIX is ideal for creating well-controlled, known gas compositions for chemical labs, sensor and transducer calibration, or as a calibration tool for chemical films.
The G-MIX system is extremely compact, encased in a robust satin aluminum case with a transparent polycarbonate front panel, all illuminated with high-intensity LEDs for an appealing visual effect. The high-quality materials used in G-MIX’s construction ensure a reliable, durable system, even when working with toxic or corrosive gases.
G-MIX is a versatile system, equipped with two valves and a precisely designed hydraulic system suitable for a wide range of experiments. It consists of two main lines for “active” gases and three lines for “carrier” gases. Two of these carrier lines can also connect to an external hydraulic setup to create a saturated vapor of a chemical solution, which can then be mixed with a gas mixture. The entire system is illustrated in the following figure.
The G-MIX 5CH system uses five different MFCs, each with calibration tables for 10 different gases. Using the software, each MFC can handle up to 10 types of gases stored within it. Additionally, users can request BioAge to load other gases, selected from a range of 134 options.
The software provided with the G-MIX 5CH is highly intuitive and easy to use, running on MS-Windows™. With USB connectivity, it is straightforward to operate and includes useful features like automatic recognition of the computer port to which the instrument is connected. It also provides an easy way for users to set parameters on each MFC, selecting the type of gas, the quantity desired, and the preferred unit of measurement.
BioAge develops instruments and writes software only after carefully listening to the needs and requirements of end users, aiming to create products that are easy to use and include all the features and functions users expect.

Canada is now home to 279 biogas projects
In its Canadian 2020 Biogas Market Report, the Canadian Biogas Association (CBA) reported that the sector grew by almost 50% between 2011 and 2020.
The 279 projects currently operational in the country are capturing waste methane from agricultural waste, landfills, green bin programmes and municipal wastewater treatment facilities, transforming it into 196 MW of clean electricity and 6 million GJ of renewable natural gas (RNG), equivalent to roughly 300,000,000 m2 of solar panels or more than nine large hydro dams.
“It’s more important than ever that we tell Canada’s biogas story,” said Jennifer Green, executive director of the CBA. “Biogas can deliver reliable and clean energy while reducing Canada’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and driving economic development in both urban and rural areas.
“Biogas is a full package solution for Canada’s climate targets, and the good news is there’s an opportunity for much more of it. Research says that Canada could efficiently tap more than eight times more energy from biogas and RNG, that is the goal that the CBA is dedicated to helping achieve.”
According to the CBA, the biogas sector is poised for another decade of growth. The Canadian 2020 Biogas Market Report estimates the country is tapping only 13% of its easily accessible biogas potential. The 2020s will drive new biogas growth, with demand for RNG increasing ‘rapidly’, thanks in part to climate and clean energy policies at national and provincial levels, such as RNG mandates in British Columbia and Quebec.
Studies have shown that biogas and RNG could reduce GHG emissions by 14 million tonnes in 2030 and 62 million tonnes in 2050.

Tornado Cash and the Future of Web3.0 Privacy
Two weeks ago, Tornado Cash co-developer Roman Storm called for financial aid while awaiting his trial. This call was in relation to the ongoing case against the popular cryptocurrency mixer following their sanctions by the U.S. Treasury Department. Storm, his co-developers, and other activists in the crypto community continue to argue for Tornado Cash's innocence and many fear this case could dictate the regulatory landscape going forward.
Why exactly is Tornado Cash in hot water though and how could this case affect the overall privacy in Web3.0? Let's find out!
What is Tornado Cash?
Tornado Cash is a decentralized cryptocurrency privacy project built on the Ethereum blockchain. It essentially allows its users to anonymously mix their Ethereum-based tokens with those of other users. This function makes it difficult to track the origin and destination of funds which helps conceal its users' identities whenever they transact.
Some argue that Tornado Cash is necessary in a crypto space moving towards privacy, security and decentralization. They say that people have a right to hide their personal information from centralized authorities and others who wish to view them. On the other hand, some also believe that the existence of Tornado Cash is concerning as it can facilitate illegal activities like money laundering or illicit transactions.
Sadly, the latter situation became the case when Lazarus group, an organization of North Korean hackers, allegedly used Tornado Cash to launder money and escape U.S. sanctions. Following this event, the U.S Treasury Department sanctioned Tornado Cash last 2022 for facilitating the money laundering of billions of dollars. These sanctions froze several wallets linked to Tornado Cash and prohibited any US citizen from interacting with the project.
What happened to their developers (case)?
Unfortunately for the developers of Tornado Cash, they too were affected by the legal proceedings. Following the sanctions imposed by the U.S. Treasury, Tornado Cash co-developer Alexey Pertsev was arrested last August 2022 in Amsterdam for allegations of money laundering. Another co-developer of the project, Roman Storm, was also arrested last August 2023 in Washington on charges of conspiracy to facilitate money laundering, operating an unlicensed money transmitter and conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Both developers have claimed innocence while stating that they only wrote code for Tornado Cash and did not actually launder any money. Their third co-developer, Roman Semenev, remains at large.
Roman Storm's call
Several crypto users have taken the side of these developers including the famous whistleblower and privacy advocate Edward Snowden. Snowden called the sanctions against Tornado Cash as "deeply illiberal and profoundly authoritarian". "Free Pertsev and Storm", a crypto activist group, also recently created fundraisers through Juicebox, GoFundMe, and WeWantJusticeDAO.org in order to help these developers. In a recent video on X (formerly Twitter), Roman Storm called for financial aid while citing how "his legal team was going to put forth a strong defense". Storm also noted how he hoped to win the case not only for him and his family but for the whole crypto community. "Whether you're a passionate developer like me involved with Web3.0 or just care about software and privacy, this legal battle will affect you" said Storm. He claimed that "this case will set a major precedent for years to come."
What does this case mean for the future of Web3.0 privacy?
Storm probably isn't wrong in his statement. With cryptocurrency, privacy coins and decentralized applications being relatively new technology, the cases against Tornado Cash are first of their kind. The outcome of this case will likely set a standard for how governments approach regulations related to privacy and decentralized technologies. Should the founders of decentralized protocol used to do harmful things be punished even if they weren't directly involved? How much privacy is one really entitled to? As crypto becomes more mainstream and more centralized entities or regulators enter the space, these are the questions we will need to ponder. Whatever happens though, it always helps to pay attention so keep your eyes peeled and hopefully regulators can find a balance between privacy and stopping illegal activity!

Happy Friday!! So y’all know I’m always looking for new products to give me the ultimate twist out definition.Recently, I have dipped back into one of my old favorites mainly because I often have the tendency to quickly move on to try a new product as soon as I’m done with another one.It’s the product junkie in me lol.Anyway, let’s get into it!! So, years ago, I used to use TGIN Twist and Define cream and I loved it so much.It gives great definition and hold but I wanted to take it a step further.After I washed and conditioned my hair and applied the LOC method, I added Camille Rose Natural’s Curlmaker.Then I layered that with the TGIN Twist and Define Cream. I let my hair air dry overnight.When I untwisted it the next morning,the definition was phenomenal and I didn’t have any issues with the two mixed products leaving any type of residue.So that’s it! Short and sweet.I will be using this combo until I find the next best thing! What are some of your favorite twist out products? Do you use combinations of products or just one? Let me know!

Artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) is transforming the way businesses manage and optimize their technology environments. This presentation explores the critical role of explainable AI (XAI) in the strategic deployment of AIOps solutions. While AIOps leverages machine learning to automate and enhance IT operations, the complexity of these models often creates a barrier to understanding and trust for decision-makers. Explainable AI bridges this gap by providing transparency into how AIOps systems make predictions and decisions.
This session will demystify key AIOps processes, highlighting the importance of XAI for stakeholders who require insights into model outputs to ensure reliability, accountability, and ethical governance. Through real-world use cases, we will examine how XAI fosters informed decision-making, risk management, and better collaboration between technical teams and business leaders. Additionally, we will discuss the strategic advantages of adopting XAI, including increased trust, regulatory compliance, and improved operational outcomes.

The Bruins are coming off of a tough lose to the Buffalo Sabres 7-4. A game in which the Bruins played as bad defensively as they ever have. Lapses in defense gave up many break aways and two on ones. Irresponsible play by forwards and mistakes is what led to the break aways. The worst part of the lose was when Thornton got pumbled in a fight against John Scott and now Thornton is out with a concusion.
1) The Bruins will have to get back to their great defensive ways and who better to get back on track against then the Toronto Maple Leafs.
2) The Bruins also need to start seeing more from Seguin. The Bruins success on the power play really depends on how Seguin does this season.

In a region where fresh water is considered a precious resource, Tucson Arizona’s Water Harvesting Guidance Manual was developed to reduce dependence on existing sources while improving stormwater management. The Manual provides basic information and concepts for developers, engineers, designers and contractors of commercial sites, public buildings, subdivisions and public rights-of-way, to meet stormwater related Land Use Code requirements. The Manual is also useful for water harvesting for residential sites.
Madison’s new Planned Development district provides a rigorous yet flexible pathway for innovative land-use that encourages sustainable development and green-building. Through the PD rezoning process OM Village was able to codify the designations portable shelter and portable shelter community, allowing OM Village to house Madison’s homeless; a project that would not have been possible without the PD district.
Tacoma Building, Fire and Historic Preservation officials worked with local architect Ben Ferguson to adopt an innovative Live/Work Work/Live code amendment in 2012. Tacoma has a lot of historic buildings with an uncertain future, but the LWWL code makes it easier to adapt existing buildings for modern urban life. By reducing regulatory and financial barriers by not requiring change of use, they have provided a clear path to approval for a new mixed-use building type that caters to today’s market.
In December 2009 the City of Seattle wrote a page in the history of green building leadership, when their City Council adopted Ordinance 123206, establishing the Living Building Pilot Program. The Program’s goal is to promote buildings that meet the Living Building Challenge (full Certification or Petal Recognition) by providing flexibility in development standards in Seattle’s Land use codes. The Bullitt Center building in the Capitol Hill Neighborhood was the first to be built under the Program.
The city of Vancouver, British Columbia created the EcoDensity Initiative and relaxed regulations to encourage the construction of laneway houses with the intention of increasing density and creating alternative housing options in an unaffordable housing market. Since the inception of the program over 2,660 permits have been issued and density has been increased without altering the character of the neighborhoods.

Response sought: Yes, by Resource Centre
Story containing response: (Find out more)
Action taken: Bahrain's Ministry of Labor and Social Development issued a statement indicating that an agreement to end the protest was signed and that the situation has returned to normal. The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited all five named companies to respond to the allegations. NSH told us their response was also on behalf of Gulf Asia Contracting as they are part of the same group. We also invited the UK Export Finance agency which had provided insurance for the Bapco Modernisation Programme to provide details of their due diligence process and response. Their response can be read in full on our website.
Source type: NGO
Thousands of migrant workers from Nasser S. Al Hajri Corporation W.L.L (NSH), Gulf Asia Contracting Company LLC, and Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO), staged a nearly week-long protest in Bahrain over poor working and living conditions, resulting in violent reprisal from the companies' security personnel and the police.
According to sources, the workers were complaining about several issues, including unsafe working conditions, unhygienic and crowded accommodation, non-payment of wages, and substandard food. The workers, hailing mainly from India and Nepal, initiated a strike on Tuesday, 7 September, after one of them allegedly had sunstroke and was hospitalised...
The companies, Nasser S. Al Hajri Corporation W.L.L and Gulf Asia Contracting Company LLC, are both owned and operated by the Indian billionaire tycoon Ravi Pillai. NSH is one of the biggest industrial contractors in the Gulf region, specializing mainly in the oil and gas, construction, and petrochemical sectors...
NSH and Gulf Asia Contracting Company LLC were contracted by Bapco along with a consortium of companies known as TTSJV, which is a joint venture of Italy’s TechnipFMC, South Korea’s Samsung Engineering, and Spain’s Tecnicas Reunidas, to undertake the multi-billion dollar project of expanding and upgrading Bapco’s existing refining facilities (Bapco Modernization Programme). It is unclear if the workers who went on strike included workers employed or managed by TTSJV.

Banks will promise tomorrow to give small businesses interest-free loans of up to £250,000 within 48 hours to help them survive the economic crisis.
Sources close to Chancellor Rishi Sunak say the emergency coronavirus loans will initially take the form of overdrafts. Business customers will be able to borrow up to a quarter of a million pounds from any of 40 lenders without having to secure the loan against assets such as property.
Under the Government’s ‘business interruption’ loans programme, SMEs will be able to apply for larger loans of up to £5million, although banking sources warned these would take longer to arrange and may need to be secured against the company’s assets.
Bosses warned yesterday that, if they are to survive the crisis, they face the potential prospect of taking on so much debt that their profits could be wiped out for years to come.
Sir John Timpson, CEO of Timpson Cobblers, which employs 5,500 staff, told BBC Radio 4 today that his firm’s financial position would go from having £15million cash in the bank to being £20million in the red. Despite being a strong business!
£330billion of loans guaranteed
The new emergency loans will be interest-free for the first year, 80% of which will be guaranteed by the Government. Sources at several major lenders said that banks had been instructed to ignore safety rules in order to provide funding more quickly to struggling businesses.
Rather than ask firms to forecast their future cash flows, banks will be able to give loans to businesses that were viable before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. Banks were inundated with applications for loans last week after the public was advised to avoid places of social gathering such as pubs, clubs and restaurants.
Loan applications to the Co-op Bank by small businesses jumped by 20 per cent last week, while loan inquiries to Lloyds Bank rose by 16 per cent. On Tuesday, the Chancellor said the Government would guarantee £330billion of loans to prevent SMEs from going bust.
The Government also confirmed that it will give companies tax holidays on business rates bills and pay 80 per cent of salaries up to £2,500 per month provided that employers continue to employ staff. However, the salaries scheme, to be backdated to March 1, will only start in April, so small firms will need to secure funding until then.
SMEs averse to risk
Nevertheless, last night bank bosses warned that some small business owners would not be willing to take on a lot of debt.
Paul Lynam, CEO of Secure Trust Bank, said the main problem is that the vast majority of SMEs, probably around 70 per cent, don’t borrow money. Which means that loans won’t apply to them, either because they lack the financial nous to borrow money or may not want to.
Trade bodies have also warned that many banks have not informed SMEs of the interest-free loans coming online tomorrow. Mike Cherry, chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses said he has heard of many instances of small business owners approaching lenders and being turned away. He went on to say that this situation is completely unacceptable.
Those responsible for approving loans, he said, should realise that in many cases they’ll be deciding whether a small business lives or dies.
Ian Rand, CEO of Barclays business banking, responded by saying that his staff will be on standby from next week to ensure they have all the resources they will need to deal with this emergency.
In a similar vein, Lloyds Bank said they are working as quickly as possible to make sure that customers can access the finance they need, once the business support is available.

Theology A Level is an exciting subject which explores three distinct areas of inquiry, each exploring a range of religious, non-religious and philosophical perspectives. The three aspects of the OCR Religious Studies (H573) course are:
Part One: Ethics
The Ethics component asks fundamental questions like: What is good? How should I behave? What makes an action right or wrong? What does it mean to live well?
Various ethical theories will be explored that attempt to answer the above questions, including: Deontological Ethics (Kant), Consequentualism (Utilitarianism) and Natural Law (associated with Thomas Aquinas)
Ethical issues such as euthanasia, abortion, and business ethics will also be discussed, and students will be required to come to reasoned judgements on their ethical implications.
Part Two: Philosophy of Religion

Last friday, RL and myself headed to RPM cyclery to check out a couple of Tandems that Scott had for sale. In her letter to Santa, my oldest daugther is asking him to bring her a Tandem bike so she can ride with dad (isn’t that special). But I digress, Scott had a couple of old bikes in the rear part of his shop. There was one that caught my eye, it was a Schwinn Continental that actually fit me.
The bike was in OK condition, but with a little TLC it can be rideable. At first I thought, ‘fixie conversion’, but after looking up the serial number, this is a 1972 Schwinn Continental made in Chicago.
I then realized that I own a piece of Americana. Nowdays 99% of the bikes are made overseas, American bikes are hard to come by unless they are custom made. As for me, I will be restoring this bike so I can keep it and ride it. I don’t consider myself a collector, just a bike geek that really enjoys bikes and their history.

This photo of men was taken in the Knights of Columbus Hall on April 2, 1967, if the note on the negative sleeve is to be believed. I searched for it in The Missourian, but didn’t see it. Either it didn’t run or I shot it as a freelance job.
Some of the men look familiar, but the only one I can identify for sure is the man in the back row, on the left. That’s Ray Seyer, Wife Lila’s uncle. You’ll be hearing more about him soon. Lila went back to Cape for his 90th birthday party Saturday.
These are men who wear serious, built-to-last wingtip shoes. I wonder if they were made in the Cape Shoe Factory? Click on any photo to make it larger.
The KC Hall
The Knights of Columbus Hall that overlooks the Mississippi River is one of those buildings that I would recognize at a glance, but haven’t had many occasions to visit. My most vivid memory is abandoning my date – probably Lila – in my car in the parking lot one night while I dashed off to shoot a fire in a neighboring building.
Casino vs. Bingo?
A family photo
The last time I was inside the KC Hall was after Lila’s mother’s funeral. The family gathered there to reminisce and to snack on food friends had brought. Inevitably, cameras came out and the picture-taking started. This sequence shows Son Adam with his Uncle John Perry. The family resemblance is plain.

Carnival Cruise Line has taken delivery of another new cruise ship, the company announced this week.
The new Carnival Panorama is the 27th ship in the brand’s fleet, and the third in the company’s Vista class of ships.
The ship will launch year-round service out of Long Beach on Dec. 11, the first new Carnival ship to homeport in California in two decades.
“Carnival Panorama is the 15th ship built by Fincantieri for Carnival Cruise Line and once again, the skill and hard work of hundreds of talented craftspeople are on display here aboard the beautiful Carnival Panorama,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “Our guests absolutely love Carnival Vista and Horizon and we are certain they are going to love their sister Carnival Panorama.”
Features on the new ship range from a “Sky Zone” trampoline park to Carnival’s first-ever “culinary studio,” where guests can take cooking classes and gastronomic tastings.
The Long Beach cruises will focus on the Mexican Riviera.

Insurers and pension funds managing $2.3 trillion pledged on Monday to shift their portfolios away from carbon-heavy industries in the hope of triggering snowballing climate commitments from other big investors.
German insurer Allianz, the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), and Swedish pension fund Alecta were among the founders of the new “Net Zero Asset Owner Alliance” launched at a United Nations climate summit.
“Mitigating climate change is the challenge of our lifetime. Politics, business and societies across the globe need to act as one to rapidly reduce climate emissions,” Oliver Baete, chief executive of Allianz, said in a statement.
As accelerating climate impacts become increasingly apparent via heatwaves, wildfires and receding coastlines, the financial sector is under growing pressure from activists, shareholders and regulators to respond.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who organized Monday’s summit to try to boost stalling international efforts to control emissions, sees insurers and pensions funds as a crucial lever to transition the global economy off fossil fuels.
These types of companies — called “asset owners” because they are the principal holders of retirement savings, or are investing customers’ insurance premiums — represent some of the world’s largest pools of capital.
Members of the new grouping pledged to align their portfolios with a goal enshrined in the 2015 Paris Agreement to combat global warming to limit the increase in average temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The importance of this target was underscored late last year when a report by the U.N.-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change spelled out the catastrophic consequences for people and nature if the world is allowed to get much hotter.
Under current emissions pledges by governments, the Earth is on track for well over 3 degrees Celsius of warming by the end of the century — an outcome that scientists say could put the survival of modern industrial societies at risk.
“CalPERS recognizes that climate change poses urgent and systemic risk given our responsibility to protect our members’ financial assets and provide the long-term returns that can pay pensions for this and coming generations,” said Marcie Frost, chief executive of CalPERS.
Threat to Divest
The pension funds and insurers said they would rebalance their portfolios to ensure their investments were carbon neutral by 2050, with intermediate targets set for 2025, 2030 and 2040. They also pledged to make regular public progress reports.
The nucleus of founding members hope they will influence an ever-growing proportion of the world’s other big pension funds and insurers to push high-carbon companies towards more sustainable economic activities.
But members of the new grouping said they might also have to divest from heavily-polluting industries as a last resort if they proved unwilling to change their business models so they no longer pose a danger to the stability of the climate.
Michael Sabia, the chief executive of Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), one of Canada’s biggest pension funds, said there could be huge opportunities for investors willing to finance a fast transition to clean energy.
“There’s a lot of people who don’t get it, but I do think it’s moving – the issue is whether it’s moving fast enough,” Sabia told Reuters. “It’s speed that matters here.”
The new coalition was organized by groups including the Geneva-based United Nations Environment Finance Initiative and Mission2020, a network to spur faster climate action led by Christiana Figueres, a former U.N. climate chief.
Among the other founding members are PensionDanmark, Swedish pension manager AMF, Nordea Life & Pension, Norwegian insurer Storebrand, and Swiss RE.

Elys Game Technology Announces Third Sportsbook in Washington
Elys Game Technology, the online sports betting and entertainment operator, has announced it is to increase its presence in the US state of Washington DC with the addition of a third retail sports book in the region.
The new sportsbook, called the Grand Central Sportsbook, will be located at 625D H Street NE in Washington, D.C. The venue will offer customers the chance to watch the match and enjoy a wager on the game while in a social setting.
The Grand Central Sportsbook joins the Grand Central Restaurant and Sportsbook and the Cloakroom Gentlemen’s Club Over Under Sportsbook Lounge in Washington has been operating successfully since 2021.
Elys describes these gaming venues as small business sportsbook concepts and the gaming operator has achieved success running these venues. The new venue launch comes after the news that Washington is increasing the max bet in cardrooms, expected to bring even more gamblers to the state.
Once Elys has been given approval for the gaming venue by the DC Office of Lottery and Gaming (DCOLG), the company expects to open the Grand Central Sportsbook to start taking sports wagers in the fourth quarter of this year.
Small Business Concept
The small business sportsbook model used by Elys is taken from a similar concept that is popular in European retail gaming outlets. Elys says this concept is tried and tested in the European jurisdiction, and it believes it will flourish in North America.
Elys boasts that as this type of sportsbook gains popularity throughout the United States, the gaming operator has experience running this type of business and is in a great position to take advantage of the opportunity.
The small business model presents a compelling opportunity as it offers customers convenient access to betting on their favorite sports while enjoying a night out at their local social establishment. We are buoyed by industry trends in the United States and believe that as more states adopt this model, we can rapidly expand our customer base with minimal upfront costs.”

I very much enjoyed a week off with my family. And now, back to work and back to normal blogging. (Kind of back to normal—I’m also heading to Albania this week to speak at an event there.)
Today’s Kindle deals include four different titles by John Piper and a large number of titles by other authors.
(Yesterday on the blog: One Measure of Greatness)
“Late in February, an active-duty US Air Force airman set fire to himself outside of Israel’s embassy in Washington, DC; afterwards, some journalists rushed to try and provide historical context for the practice of ‘self-immolation.’” Noah Diekemper just how badly they did in trying to show how this is somehow a Christian practice.
“It’s so sweet to walk into a church and know that God’s people are gathered for worship. Of course He is near. A holy moment. But isn’t it a holy moment, too, when you are sitting in a doctor’s office, holding hands with your faithful wife, enduring the bad news with faith? As believers we tread on holy ground in every school building, nursing home, leafy forest floor, and in every possible scenario we could dream up.”
This is such a good new song by CityAlight.
If you read the title and guessed “Carl Trueman,” you’d be correct. “Regardless of the political stakes, at ground level the births, marriages, illnesses, and deaths continue. Pastoral ministry goes on, day to day, year to year, whatever the political officer class, right and left, are debating. And so in this context, the Church must continue to do that to which she has been called: proclaim Christ in Word and sacrament. The big problems of life—sin and death—remain, whoever wins the election in November 2024. And so the Church needs to remain faithful to her appointed task and not become simply an arm of those vying for political power.”
I think this article is especially important for pastors and other church leaders. “If we affirm the regulative principle for the Sunday morning gathering, shouldn’t we also apply the same conviction to the rest of our discipleship ministries?” That’s worth considering!
Dr. Andrew Walker offers some thoughts on thinking well about social justice.
There is always the danger that we regard children as little projects more than real people. There is always the danger that parenting becomes abstract rather than deeply personal—the mere following of principles instead of the careful shepherding of souls.
…we cannot receive what God has to give when our fists are clenched and our eyes shut, concentrating on our own moral exertion. We need to open up our fists and our eyes and lift both heavenward to receive his love.
